Teaching them about actual carry in public is an entirely different ballgame.<\/p>\n<p>Under a mandatory training regime, if some little old lady (or you) shoots an attacker in legitimate self-defense, and you didn&#8217;t take the approved class, you&#8217;ve committed a crime and go to jail, for what is essentially a righteous act. That&#8217;s just not right.<\/p>\n<p>Government could play a positive role if it ran public service announcements, &#8220;in cooperation with this station and the Ad Council,&#8221; and put up billboards, encouraging the public to go to the range, take classes, learn about gun safety, the whole nine yards.

Exercising your rights doesn\u2019t require training. Failure to get training doesn\u2019t vacate your rights or subject you to penalties. Got it? No training required to be a parent to helpless infants, none needed to buy poisons and sharp things in Home Depot, no certificate of completion needed to enter bizarre religious ritualistic buildings. Understood? Smart people get trained for everything because they\u2019re smart. Get smart. Do it on your own. With or without whatever training, you screw up, your responsible. OK? Training doesn\u2019t get you off the hook, at all, but it may help you stay off the hook (and it does look good to a jury).
